iron, with silver, and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm

fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I

Point of View - Lesson 2 Homework

Directions: Read the following passage and identify the point of view. Then Explain how

the narrator’s perspective compares or contrasts with the reader’s perspective and how

this might create an effect in the text.

Context for the passage: The following passage is from ​Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

by Mark Twain. This passage is told from the perspective of Huckleberry Finn, a child

who is in the care of a woman known as the widow.

“After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the

Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out

that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about

him; because I don’t take no stock in dead people.

Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn’t.

She said it was a mean practice and wasn’t clean, and I must try to not do it any more.

That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know

nothing about it. Here she was a bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and

no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a

thing that had some good in it. And she took snuff too; of course that was alright,

because she done it herself.”

had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. “Come on,” she
